Don't know who won the competition other than not me. The exhibit opening reception is Friday March 31st at the Center For Architecture, I think like 7:30? I do know that all the designs will be displayed that opening night, and either all or just the winners and honorable mentions will be published in the book they are making of the competition.
this is what it's written:
......" The winners and jury selections will be on display at the Center for Architecture from March 31, 2006 to June 17, 2006. ".....
"After March 31st, all submissions will be on display in the Virtual Galleries section of this website."...
they haven't upload the site with the winners yet.
Yes, I have checked the website--and noticed the same thing you did. I was hoping someone who had actually been to the reception might respond to the thread.
diller and scofido got first place.........but only after they ripped off someone from the 60's
sorry about the cynicism but it was truly maddening to be so underwhelmed by almost every board that was on display. Of course there were a few really good things up but, I was just so disappointed to see how such a small number of architects, those which tend to dominate magazines and newspapers, have the ability to drive so much of the "fashion" and "taste" of architecture.
This type of exhibition just reminds me that a performing a more sensical and thoughtful analysis in order to arrive at a trajectory which then informs one's architectural idea/concept can be more powerful than finding something with the appearance of being "hip" and adopting it.
I mean, I thought it was meant to be an ideas competition?!?!
aeaa was kidding, s/he meant that the first place project, by Nina from France, was a rip-off of Diller + Scofidio, I guess the Highline Project. I thought there were some interesting proposals, but I certainly agree with the general consensus that you could go around and point and say "Eisenman...Hadid...Koolhaas..." In fact there was one that was even self-admittedly inspired by Rem's Delirius New York, it was layed out in a cartoon-ish fashion. There was one that didn't win anything but i saw during the slide show which really stood out because it was almost completely beautifully hand-drawn, and that in itself stood out.
As a VERY young architect who entered the competition it was fun and I learned a lot from the proposals and how I can do a better job in the next competition in two years.

Diller and Scofidio?? Wasn't this a "young architects" competition? confused.
